Brazilian Malware Writers Stumble Again

I like to pick on malware writers, especially the dumb ones as you can see here. Sometimes they’re just too big a target to ignore.
The latest round is with Brazilian malware writers again. As you are aware, some days ago the Delphi virus was discovered; we detect it as W32/Induc. So today I got a Brazilian PWS-banker malware that was infected with–guess what?–the W32/Induc delphi virus! What an irony. 
Back in 2007, I wrote about something quite similar here. And, surprise, it was another Brazilian PWS-banker malware.
So, please, malware writers, repeat after me: “I must install anti-virus software. I must install anti-virus software.”
Today, you can buy a customized Brazilian PWS-banker malware for about US$50. That may explain why it is so cheaply made.
